How do I search for restricted terms? I want to find some 12v stuff with a cigarette lighter jack but Ali won’t let me search for it even though items will clearly have it in the title

I don’t know, really. Sometimes I’ll find related items that use the code word and then I’m off to the races. Car power outlet might work for you?

I can search for "cigarette" just fine, and actually get mock cigarettes etc. But, for the terms Ali considers no-no, the only recourse I'm aware of is using euphemisms.

I even get search suggestions with cigarette in it when typing it out but don't get any actual results. I'm in the US. It's really bizarre. stephenthinkpad posted:The ban word is cigarette?

AliExpress filters by location. I get plenty of result in Finland:  But when I use VPN to connect from USA (Florida), I get zero results:

So this is a bit weird... I bought a USB Optical drive a month or so ago (this was ebay but via china so I will provide links to both sources that I can find). It works reading discs and I used it barely - ripped some DVDs to discs etc. So on the weekend I'm loving around with some PS1 game burning and getting very frustrated at one of my consoles as it wasn't reading anything I burnt. Tested audio CDs to isolate out modchip incompatibilities. I was going in loops and bought new CDs that were recommended, adjusted the laser and a lot of swearing. Nope this drive PRETENDS to burn discs! I had a stack of discs I thought were failed burns that in fact were BLANK but reported in ImgBurn to complete fine. After reloading the discs they come up as empty and were burnable on another computer! Here is an incredibly boring 7 minute video outlining it. Hoped to do it all in one take to limit claims of shenanigans from the seller/eBay: https://streamable.com/otoccy This is the one I bought: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363151347781 Looks to be this on Ali https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...c06a54be8c77-14

that seems like the scam would take more effort/time/money than just doing it for real

I did try burning through Media Player and a few other burning programs (Alcohol 120% etc.) and same result for me.

Yeah some sort of fake burning buffer. Having a chat to an actual IT pro who works for the military and is keen to get his hands on it. It is really bizarre as it will 'burn' according to the min/max speeds of the CDs inserted. All functions work, the only reason in the video I turned of verify is due to it failing to of course...having a fake disc in there and wigging out. Wanted it to clearly show a blank on reinsertion.

Unless it tries to then read the disk you can have it do everything correctly but lack the physical parts to actually do the burning and the computer wouldn't be any wiser.

Cheesus posted:LOL. Works (as in fake burns at the advertised speed) at 4x on one type of Verbatims and 2x on another sort. Inline with the specs on the packaging. This motherfucker made me actually buy CD-Rs. I have had this stack of 100 for maybe 10 years for a reason...

Defect in the power supply to write laser or the write laser diode itself + buffering the entire contents of the disk and presenting the buffer to the host pc as the drive instead of the physical disc, I'd bet. When you read a real cd does it just spin up once and then no more when you browse the file directory? I'd bet it's just dumping the entire disc into buffer when you insert a disc and likewise the other way when you write. 800MB of ram or flash doesn't exactly bust the bank these days shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jun 7, 2021 |

If the laser was absent/undergunning it, I would expect the chip to notice that the power draw was all wrong. But it might not do any of that for cost reasons.

LOL the drive seller immediately refunded after I sent the video. They tried 'how about a partial refund if it still reads discs?' Yeah no.

Ali is combining a lot of my packages nowadays. I bought four or five things and all but one are coming in one package. I see the appeal, but I kind of liked waiting for all of my stupid purchases to appear in my mailbox one by one. Five packages is more fun than two, dammit!

A stuffed avocado was very soft, like a squishmallow, while knockoff pokemon tended to be stuffed very firmly. I think they're all polyfill, just different amounts crammed in the toy.

If you're bothered you could always buy a $3 IKEA pillow and use the stuffing to re-stuff the plush. Cheapest source of stuffing around

Randomly clicked on an Ali email, they've got suggestions for me,  Nah. Wait, what's that third thing?  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000944738677.html Sure, a giant structural scissor lift. I'm sure my local building codes would be fine with this. If only I didn't live in an apartment. Good price on shipping tho.
